They seem to have taken down the evelopedia, I need to calculate align time. I've seen this formula:

(ln(2) * Inertia Modifier * Mass) / 500,000.

First is it still valid?

Second what does the In in In(2) stand for ?

Thanks in advance.

ln = natural logarithm.

Based on this link I believe that equation is accurate.

ln, or LN(x) is the natural log, there should be a button for it on your calculator or a function call for it in your spreadsheets program.

I don't know if you've noticed yet, but align time is now displayed in-game. If you want to know align time for a specific set-up with your skills, just start a simulation with that set-up and you know.

It's displayed in the ship details near the bottom on the fitting screen.

Old formula:

TimeToWarp = -ln(0.25) × Mass_kg × Agility / 1000000

Doesn't seem to account for:

Effective Mass = Mass * Inertial Modifier * (1 - Agility)

Use the fitting tool. Problem solved.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Yeah I discovered that, thank you ... I saw it and then I wondered if it was, in fact, what it said it was. I did the calculation a viola! Thanks again to all who chimed in.
